The Basingstoke Ladies’ Probus Club has appointed its new President.

Alison Wood took up her role during the club’s 32nd AGM, succeeding outgoing President Janet Fagg.

The club, which serves as a social hub for retired and semi-retired women with professional or supervisory business experience, meets monthly at the BCoT restaurant for discussions and presentations by guest speakers.

The meetings are known for the diverse range of experiences shared by members, leading to "lively interchanges," according to the club.

When the BCoT is closed for holidays, members organise outside visits.

Recent excursions have included a private tour of Stratfield Saye, a visit to a speaker’s Japanese garden, and afternoon tea in local village surroundings.
